Default repair cracked bronze fitting


"CB" wrote in message
oups.com...

I disassembled my tiller / rudder assembly the other day and the
bronze tillerhead
has developed a crack. It's not the end of the world but I wouldn't
mind getting it fixed. The fitting is a good solid 3 pound piece. What
are my options here in terms of metallurgical whatever? Welding?
Brazing? What am I looking for in the yellow pages basically?

Thanks for any pointers,

-CB


Any decent welder should be able to repair it -- grind and fill with brazing
rod.
